Ecstacy

My idea of a dream date.....


I wake up in the morning with a smile on my face. I wonder why am I so happy today. Then it suddenly hits my heart and mind that I am going to meet my sweetheart today. Finally the moment I have been waiting for from almost forever has arrived.

I rush to get ready. I had decided the dress I would wear quite some time before. Today for once I pay a little extra attention to the way I look (those who know me would be a little surprised). I get ready and gulp down a little breakfast. My heart is beating hard all this while. The only thought that dominates everything else in my mind is that i have to be on time. I am going to meet him today.

I reach the spot both of us had decided. I manage to reach a little early and now wait anxiously for him to arrive. Suddenly I see him walking down towards me. It is a little crowded where I am standing and he can't see me. Suddenly the stuff of fairy tales happen. The crowd thins and he catches sight of me. One moment we are walking towards each other, the next we are hugging.

We reluctantly let go of each other since we are in a public place. But I need the assurance that yes, he is in front of me, so I hold his hand in mine. After that, all my memories are of the way both of us were lost into each other. We walk together, holding hands and half hugging each other. The weather complements our moods beautifully since it is cloudy and drizzling every now and then.

Before either of us realize it, the day comes to an end. The time for him to go back arrives and both of us are having a hard time in accepting it. We hug each other hard one last time. Both of us carry the hope that we will meet again very soon. We both get on to the vehicles leading us back to our homes which ironically lie in the opposite directions. We wave a good bye.

I always listen to my heart. I hope this time, destiny listens to what my heart is saying and makes my dream come true.
